we talk about energy independence but realistically north america is the energy unit that we should be looking at for providing our source. as we tap resources throughout the united states, canada, and mexico, we are going to be able to become energy independence much more ridly than anyone ever thought, as these new technologies develop to let us reach oil and gas deposits that we never even 10 years ago thought was possible. i was talking to a geologist just recently when i aanswered -- i attended a field hearing in north dakota, he told me when he was in school they always considered shale to be the source and would never be able to tap it. but technology has proved that wrong. and in fact even with our current technology, we're only getting a small percentage of the actual oil trapped in that shale. i am confident that as our technology develops that's going to become more and more available and this is going to take care of it. but what we know is what's running up the price of oil and gas is excessive government regulation. and if we can put a hold on government regulation, so ou

energy through oil shale. despite those efforts, no company has been able to deliver on that promise. it's time to end the sham and stop wasting taxpayer dollars. that's why this amendment which i offer with my good friend, congressman jere red polis from california, would save $25 million and invest it in deficit reduction. despite what some in the industry might claim, oil shale development won't produce affordable american energy or jobs. mr. chairman, just a few weeks ago interior secretary salazar pointed out that the house majority continues to confuse shale oil with oil shale. two completely different things. while they clearly sound similar, any undergraduate in geology can tell you that in fact one is a rock, the other a liquid. let me say that again so my colleagues understand, oil shale derives from a rock is not to be confused with shale oil. while shale oil is experiencing a boom in development, oil shale technology simply doesn't exist. in fact recently confirmed by the congressional budget offic
